Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 125 Li Linfu's Sorrow
Becoming the prime minister of the pinnacle of courtiers, with one person under ten thousand, Yang Guozhong is proud, and the bustling courts herald the coming of his Yang Guozhong era.

On the contrary, Li Linfu's mansion, where the funeral was being held, was extremely deserted. The former so-called followers, students, confidantes, etc., all stayed away as if they were far away from the plague, and tried their best to separate their relationship with Li Linfu.

All officials are fools, mainly for their own interests.To follow Li Linfu and be loyal to Li Linfu is because Li Linfu was still alive and was still the prime minister.

The living Li Linfu holds the great power of the prime minister and can manipulate people's life and death. He is loyal to Li Linfu because of Li Linfu's help, and dare not betray Li Linfu because of Li Linfu's rights. They cannot afford Li Linfu's revenge.

Now that Li Linfu is dead, and the prime minister has become Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu can no longer help them, nor can he climb out of the coffin to take revenge on them. Of course, they are afraid to avoid it and be misunderstood by the new prime minister, Yang Guozhong.

Although they followed Li Linfu and were loyal to Li Linfu in the past, it did not prevent them from switching to Yang Guozhong, who was in favor of him after Li Linfu died. Yang Guozhong could not really take revenge on them one by one because they were loyal to Li Linfu before.

Indeed, there were too many people who followed Li Linfu back then, and it was indeed impossible for Yang Guozhong to retaliate one by one in order to win people over and stabilize his position as prime minister.

Unless, of course, someone is ignorant of current affairs.

The so-called knowledge of current affairs is easy to understand, that is to come up with a 'big gift' that satisfies Yang Guozhong, and let Yang Guozhong 'forget' what they did before.

This is the reason why Yang Guozhong's mansion is crowded.

"The next official pays homage to the Prime Minister, a small gift is not a respect, congratulations on your ascension to the post of Prime Minister, and from now on, the next official will only follow the Prime Minister's lead." This is a fourth-rank official. No one knows what's inside.

Yang Guozhong waved his hand, and someone immediately took the box, and someone behind it registered and pasted the number.

Except for Yang Guozhong himself, no one knows how much compensation or "filial piety" Yang Guozhong received during this day, but the value of it will never be less than 100 million.

Relying on the knowledge of more than 1000 years ahead, Li Fei has made a lot of things. It seems to be able to make money, but it is far behind Yang Guozhong who became the prime minister. After all, Li Fei cannot be like Yang Guozhong, who can harvest in a day Millions of worth of property, this is just the beginning, and the subsequent chambers of commerce that used to rely on Li Linfu to send money to Li Linfu for care will also switch to Yang Guozhong one after another, which brings nearly a million guans of money.

Yang Guozhong was full of ambition, and his face was full of arrogance.

"My lord, Li Linfu will be buried in the future. Your Majesty will posthumously present him as Taiwei, Governor of Yangzhou." Although Li Linfu is dead, Yang Guozhong has been sending people to pay attention to the actions of Li Linfu's family.

"Taiwei? Governor of Yangzhou?" Yang Guozhong's face was very ugly. Why did that old man Li Linfu still get this honor after his death?

Needless to say, Yang Guozhong hated Li Linfu. Li Linfu had suppressed Yang Guozhong very badly in the past few months, and even planned Yang Guozhong to leave Chang'an City and go to Jiannan Road, which scared Yang Guozhong enough before his death.Yang Guozhong's hatred must be avenged, even if Li Linfu died, he did not intend to let Li Linfu go easily.

When going to the palace, passing by the Li family's mansion, looking at the grand gate covered with white cloth, Yang Guozhong's expression was very cold.

After being the prime minister for nearly 20 years, Li Linfu has won too many honors, and this prime minister's mansion is one of them.Not only is it adjacent to the imperial palace, but it is also extremely luxurious inside. Compared with it, the prince's mansion is a little worse. Li Linfu is dead. Such a mansion is not something his family can continue to occupy.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the former Prime Minister Li Linfu once married a general Tie Le as righteous father and son. Some time ago, that general Tie Le rebelled. I have doubts, why did Li Linfu know what your Majesty and your ministers said in private, even Li Xiu knew it, could it be that Li Linfu has placed a gap by His Majesty's side, there is still doubt about Wang Chi's rebellion, Li Linfu didn't know what he wanted to do at the beginning." Yang Guozhong spoke ill of Li Linfu to Tang Xuanzong.

Tang Xuanzong was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of what Li Xiu said when he entered the palace to ask him to see Li Linfu, who was seriously ill. Those words were said to Yang Guozhong in private, and no one knew except Gao Lishi and the other three eunuchs present. How did Li Linfu and Li Xiu know?
Could it be that Li Linfu really bought the eunuchs around him to 'monitor' every move of the emperor?What does Li Linfu want to do?
check!Must check!

This investigation really allowed Tang Xuanzong to find out something. Li Linfu had indeed bought some eunuchs around him. It was precisely because of this that the private conversation between him and Yang Guozhong was passed on to Li Linfu's ears.

All of a sudden, Tang Xuanzong's complexion changed, becoming very ugly.

The adoptive son of the Tie Le tribe rebelled, and Wang Yu rebelled against him, and he still placed gaps around him, one after another, bold and reckless, with shocking ambitions!Could it be that Li Linfu really wanted to rebel?

"Li Linfu betrayed my trust. He dared to place a gap in my side, and he was unshirkably responsible for the betrayal of the Tang Dynasty by the generals of the Tiele Tribe. It is tantamount to rebellion! I will deprive Li Linfu of all his official positions and seize his family property, son. Li Xiu and others are exiled to Lingnan!
With Yang Guozhong's frame and Tang Xuanzong's own suspicion, Li Linfu would not be at peace even if he died.

Being dubbed "conspiracy of rebellion" by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and deprived of all official positions, Li Linfu naturally could not continue to be buried according to the specifications of the prime minister and Taiwei, but could only be buried according to the specifications of ordinary people.

The funeral was supposed to be held tomorrow, but the coffin was forcibly cut open, the prime minister’s mansion was stripped from the corpse, and the gold inlaid jade in his mouth was taken away, and he was put on the most common coarse cloth and repacked in the coffin. In a thin coffin.

In addition, Li Linfu's family, his son Li Xiu, his wives and concubines, etc., were all arrested.A large group of officers and soldiers confiscated all his property.

After being the prime minister for nearly 20 years, Li Linfu was very wealthy, and his family property of no less than 200 million yuan was confiscated at once, which shocked Tang Xuanzong.What do you want to do with so much money?How many hearts can be bought!
After distrusting Li Linfu, Tang Xuanzong's imagination of Li Linfu was full of malice.

Li Linfu worked hard for nearly 20 years, not only as a prime minister, but also undertook most of Tang Xuanzong's memorials and reviews. Miserable, this has to be said to be Li Linfu's sorrow.
